I doubt most agree the DR ending will be the cannon ending. In fact I think, considering your major choices will be imported from DA1 that the 'cannon ending' will be a likely result of whatever your warden did (therefor no cannon ending persay). I think you underestimate the amount of people who refused the DR ending because it's cheapens the game and flies against the morality of their character. Seriously, how many of you ran across Thedas for most of the game the valiant do-gooder just to pull a 180 and sac your unborn child to some ritual with some chick who's been lying to you the whole time just to save your own butt?

Well, as a
do-gooder, my warden nonetheless did the DR because of the somewhat underhand and slightly dubious nature of recruitment to the Grey Wardens. You know the format, in which the truth about how it would affect your own life is not revealed until its too late, ( ie, joining will kill you slowly and horribly ) and the fate of those who decided last minute, it wasn't the career path they had in mind and thus wanted to leave was
instant dismissal ( a sword in the gut )
Duncan's less than impressive rhetoric about why he had to kill Jory and that effectively being the fate for all who decide they don't want to drink, and the fate of those who do is not much better, left her with a queasy feeling about the whole blood cult known as "The Grey Wardens".
She did the job though because greater needs must and all that stuff. But she was not happy about being lied to, or having that kind of truth kept from her. Initially she imagined it would be just like signing up for a special task force when the idea of the Wardens was put to her. Duncan's summary exuction of Jory, for no other reason that he was scared and thus wanted to go back home to his wife and expectant child hit her really hard and so did the realisation, after being effectively forced to drink the blood
on pain of death, that it would kill her anyway.
So she did her duty, took out the Arch Demon but given all that, didn't feel she had to then sacrifcie her life for that kind of secretive organisation then and there, she could do far more good living, so took the opportunity Morrigan presented to her..
So heck no, choosing to have the warden live and do the DR does not
cheapen the game, not at all.
